Creation, Communication, Circulation, Consumption
21-22 October 2010 University of Southampton
Abstract
After two years of dialogue between more than 100 specialists, the Visualisation in Archaeology project (VIA) is looking back at the key conceptual concerns over visual practice that have simmered beneath the surface of our 2008 and 2009 Workshops. Grounded in the recommendations of VIA’s contributors, our final Workshop in October 2010 looks both to scrutinise and to anticipate future developments around those theoretical and methodological matters that have repeatedly animated VIA’s audiences: Creation, Communication, Circulation & Consumption.
At stake are four overarching questions:
How is visualisation involved in creating new lines of research, compiling archaeological data sets, navigating information and driving forward enquiry—and what, then, are the responsibilities of visual creators?
How do images communicate ideas, knowledge and emotion, and how do authorship and history affect these communicative processes? Of particular interest here is analysis of the content of imagery.
How -- and with what consequences -- does the circulation of visual media intersect with professional structures of funding, administration, conduct, legitimacy and expertise? Of concern here are the means and effects of image distribution.
How do viewers consume and react to visual representations, and what can be done to hone visual skillsets among professional and general audiences? |
